The Mint
Mint steady profit across parallel recovery columns sharing one bank.
Open The Mint →The Mint rebuilds an original multi-column recovery system from its source — each column grinding a profit target down on its wins while a shared bank caps the exposure. Reproduced to the cent and available nowhere else.
Overview
The Mint runs several independent "columns" at once, all drawing on one shared bank. Each column works toward a profit target: losses push the target up, and a win pulls it back down and sharpens the column so it recovers faster. A column finishes when its target is ground down to your minimum.

Before you start
Decide your shared bank, the starting target, your strike rate (which sets how aggressively each column chases), a sensible maximum-bet cap, and how many columns to run. Set the rounding to match how you actually bet.
How it works
Each column suggests a next bet from its current target, kept under your maximum-bet cap on the shared bank. A win reduces that column’s target by the profit you made and sharpens the column; a loss adds to the target. After a run of losses a brake eases the column’s stakes so losses grow more slowly. When the target reaches your minimum, the column is done.
Understanding the divisor
The divisor is the dial that controls how patiently a column chases its target — think of it as roughly how many steps the column spreads a recovery over.
A smaller divisor means larger, more aggressive bets that try to recover quickly. A larger divisor means smaller, more patient bets spread across more races. You don’t set the divisor directly: you set your strike rate (the win rate you realistically expect from your selections), and the column starts from a divisor that matches it — the lower your expected strike rate, the larger the starting divisor, because rarer wins call for more caution.
The divisor isn’t fixed. Every win sharpens it, so a column closes in faster the more it wins. After a run of losses the brake raises it, deliberately easing your stakes so a cold streak doesn’t escalate — and it never drops below the minimum divisor you set. The status shows where a column sits: RUN normally, SLOW just after a brake, DONE once the target is recovered.
Which odds suit it
The Mint is happiest with mid-range odds — roughly $2.50 to $8 — where winners arrive often enough to keep grinding the target down. At very short odds each win barely dents the target, so it crawls; at very long odds a win cuts the target fast but the divisor can hit its floor and push the next bets up.
Match your strike rate to the odds you actually back: shorter prices win more often (a smaller, busier divisor), longer prices win less often (a larger, more patient divisor).
Recommended setups
Favourite backer (short odds) — strike 35–40% · max bet 3% · 2 columns Balanced (mid odds $3–$6) — strike 20% · max bet 5% · 3–4 columns Value (longer odds $6–$12) — strike 15% · max bet 4% · min divisor 3 · 1–2 columns
Lower strike = a larger, more patient divisor. Longer odds mean longer losing runs, so a tighter max-bet cap and fewer columns keep total exposure sensible.
Running a session — how to use it
- 1Set the shared bank, target, strike rate, minimum target, maximum-bet %, brake settings and number of columns.
- 2Each column shows its suggested next bet, target, divisor and status (RUN / SLOW / DONE).
- 3For a win, enter the odds and tap Win; for a loss, tap Loss.
- 4Each card shows its current P/L — when a column is in the positive, tap "Rule off & restart" to bank that run and start the column fresh.
- 5Watch the shared bank and each column update live.
- 6Use Undo to reverse the last result; sign in to sync across devices.
Worked example — the original workout
Seven losses, then a win @1.90, a loss, then a win @4.00 → the tool produces the bets: $50, $65, $90, $120, $160, $105, $125, $145, $145, $175 After the 5th loss the brake eases the stakes Each win pulls the target down ($865 → $735 → … ) toward the $100 finish line
This reproduces the original source workout exactly.
Why run multiple columns
Each column is its own recovery chasing its own target, but they all share one bank, so the maximum-bet cap is measured against the total. Running several spreads risk across more selections — but also puts more money in play at once. Use a single column to run the classic plan.
Suggested strategy
- Set your strike rate to the win rate you genuinely expect — it’s the single biggest lever. If you’re unsure, choose a lower strike rate (a larger, more cautious divisor) and let wins sharpen it for you.
- Keep the minimum divisor sensible — set too low, the last few bets before a column finishes can jump up sharply.
- Run a handful of columns rather than one, but keep the maximum-bet % conservative so no single column’s stake can run away.
- Rule off a column once it’s in the positive to lock in that run instead of risking the gain back — then it restarts fresh.
- Watch the shared bank, not just one column — total exposure is what matters.
- Match the round increment to how you really bet so the suggested stakes are usable.
- Treat a DONE column as a win booked; restart it deliberately, not on reflex.
Tips & common mistakes
- The maximum-bet cap is your main safety valve — set it before chasing.
- More columns means more total money in play; size the shared bank for all of them.
- A brake is a feature, not a fault — it’s slowing a column down on purpose.
FAQ
- How is the next bet decided?
- From the column’s current target and its divisor, kept under your maximum-bet % of the shared bank and rounded to your increment.
- What does the divisor do?
- It sets how patiently a column chases its target — smaller means bigger, faster bets; larger means smaller, more patient ones. Your strike rate sets the starting value; wins sharpen it and the brake eases it.
- What strike rate should I use?
- The win rate you realistically expect from your selections. When in doubt, go lower (more cautious) — wins will sharpen the column for you.
- What does the brake do?
- After a run of losses in a column it eases that column’s stakes so losses grow more slowly.
- When is a column "DONE"?
- When its target has been ground down to the minimum you set — its job is finished; restart it if you wish.
